If all goes to **** then its a 5k gamble and its not that big of a deal  

I think people are taking a gamble that it will be extended.

Thanks to a GOOD owner who made serious changes I can honestly say I am now thrilled with my Prop Mngmt Co.  

Your stock market losses offset your stock market gains, your gambling losses offset your gambling wins, etc. 

(My oldest is just 9 but if he’s asking this question at 16, I’ll be thrilled.)I would say step 1 is simply to learn.

Option A sounds like a gamble with no current cash flow, and only real upside being potential future price appreciation.

In every world this is a mathematically inferior situation to paying less for the property, unless you are willing to gamble that the 10-40k is a drop in the bucket because the place is going to explode upwards in value...?

Repairs are often out of pocket. 4 family I have my mortgage paid by 2 of my tenants and the third tenant essentially pays for any repairs plus profit.This doesn’t apply for every market or every property but that’s why I am thrilled I went with 4 family to start.

Everyone was thrilled.

Everyone was thrilled.
